THE POLISH ALLIANCE.
A Long Days Session at Which
Deal of Business Was Done.

"A Lung Ddy SeSSIOn at w nlCtt a
Deal of Business Was Done.
The second session of the Polish alli-
ance was held at Pfeitfer's hall yester-
day. After the reading of the minutes
of Mondays meeting, and also of sew
eral congratulat0ry kilograms from So
cieties in Chicago, Cincinnati and other
cities, Delegate Morganstern read the
report of the committee on records. A
discussion followed, which was partici-
pated i'll generally by all the delegates.
The report was finally adopted. Then
followed the reading of the finance re-
port of the newspaper of the Polish
alliance. 1t was announced that there
were 2,310 regular subscribers and there
had been paid out in salaries s., 604.96.
a letter was read from a member re-
Gently expelled, asking to be reinStated
in the alliance. The rest of the fore
noon was taken up discussing the cases
of members removed by their groups"
and appealing to the alliance.
At IS p. m. the delegates convened
again. The question of the standing of
certain Polish secretary i'll Buffalo, n.
Y, was taken up and discussed, also the
subject of colonization, it being reported
in regard to this that the Northern Pa
cIfic railroad had $4,000 acres which
they would be willing to sell for that
purpose.
A motion was made to read the cOnSti-
tuition in order to make any changes
that seemed fitting. The motion was
amended so that the constitution be
read tomorrow and delegates instructed
to have all changes ready. Rev. Father
DOmagalSki, of Cincinnati, made tell
ing speech, bristling with humor, call
ing on the delegates to lend their sup
port to the official
PAPER OF THE ALLIANCE
against all other papers. This pro
voked animated discussion, but finally
the following resolution, offered by the
same gentleman, prevailed:
Thai the only authorized organ of the
alliSOee is the newspaper, ZgOva, published
~ Milwaukee.
4 recess of ten minutes was taken,
and, on reaSSembling, several delegates
expressed dissatisfaction against those
who would make the alliance religious
society rather than national one. A
letter was read from Polish society in
London, England, setting forth the con-
dition of the same. 1t was voted that
Frank Rejski, of Paris, France, be made
an honorary member.
The following clergymen are among
Reverend Fathers Maier, st. Paul; Jaw Or
ski. Pittsburg, Pa; Sroki, Alberta, Mimi. :;
Babinski, Fairchild, Wis; Pacholski, Mime
apolis; Chowanic, Swan River, MIMI; GU
zowsh, Pine Creek, Mimi: Byzewski, Wi
nona Mimi; Rynda, st. Paul, Mimi; Statyn-
ski, ST. Cloud, Mimi.
The proceedings of a Polish c0nven-
ton differ in some respects from other
parliamentary bodies. For instance,
delegates wishing to address the chair
write their names on small slips of
paper (they being provided with small
paper blocks for that purpose) and send
the same to the speaker, or marshal as
he is called by the Polish. The order in
which these slips are sent in is the order
in which the delegates are heard, the
marshal calling the name written on the
slip. A great deal of confusion and in
discriminate address of the chair is
avoided.
LITTLE NOTES. -
The censor, Frank Grygler, has Louis
Napoleon cast of countenance, and makes a
dignified ruler.
Mr.. Morganstern is the Ignatius Donnelly
of the convention. He is thoroughly posted
on the laws of the alliance and generally car
ries his point.
When the convention becomes involved in
the turmoil of heated discussion, it is re-
freshing to see Rev. Father Maier arise and
pour oil ON the troubled waters.
